Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

What position did you get?It didn't take long for the mystery to be resolved.

The next morning, Wu Shigong and Xue Yufei accompanied Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang to have breakfast.After breakfast, Xue Lian called Wu Shigong to the study alone.In the study, that Master Zhang Kehua has been waiting for him for a long time.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Xue Lian straight to the point and said to Wu Shigong: "This Marquis has found a position for you. It is the Deputy Commander and Acting Commander of the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department. Prepare yourself and take up the post tomorrow. Originally, you were newly married. You have to take a good vacation, but state affairs are the most important thing, and you need to come to the post immediately, so I will wrong you. Anyway, we are a family, you have to do things well, and share your worries. I have already made people leave the official seal and official robe You don’t need to make an extra trip to get it from the Ministry of War. The Marquis will let Xue Qiang and Xue Yong follow you. Both of them are smart and capable people. You just have an errand, so if you have any questions, you should discuss it with them , you can also ask Mr. Zhang to ask."

Wu Shigong looked at Master Zhang, and Master Zhang also nodded to Wu Shigong.Xue Lian then asked Wu Shigong: "Do you understand? If you understand, go down. I will send the official seal and official robe to your house."

Seeing that Xue Lian seemed to have other things to do and was anxious to drive Wu Shigong away, Wu Shigong could only nod blankly, got up and saluted and said goodbye.In fact, Wu Shigong basically didn't understand.I don't know what the Nancheng Bingma Command Department does?How many people can this deputy commander command?However, it is estimated that there is the term "commander", and this official position belongs to the Ministry of War, so it should be an officer.

It's just that Wu Shigong's estimate was wrong.The commander and deputy commander of the Military and Horse Command Division are not military positions, but they cannot be said to be civilian positions. The attribution of this official position is very delicate and embarrassing.To use an analogy that may not be appropriate, this is very similar to the modern police chief.Although the chief of public security is the head of a state violence agency, the position is indeed a civil servant.A public security chief can be promoted to be the chief of the finance bureau, or promoted to be the deputy mayor.If you do well in the future, you can even be promoted to mayor or secretary of the municipal party committee.It is not hindered by the fact that he was the chief of the public security bureau.Of course, the above situation is rare. Basically, the future way out for the chief of public security is to turn within the political and legal system.But rare is not impossible.However, it is absolutely impossible for the chief of the public security bureau to become a lieutenant colonel, colonel or other military officer.

The commander of the soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty should also be regarded as a civil official, but the civil official attribute of this official position was not recognized by the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty.Because in the Ming Dynasty, all teachings, even those with no grades, required a minimum supervisory qualification (except Li You, of course. I really like "Struggle in the New Ming Dynasty"), and the commander of the soldiers and horses did not need this condition. That's why this official position is so popular with noble children.There are only two possibilities for its transfer: one is to transfer to other miscellaneous officials.But among this type of miscellaneous officials, the rank of the commander of soldiers and horses is already the highest. If someone is in this situation, then congratulations to him, he has been demoted; Just to be an officer.In this regard, it is exactly the opposite of the situation of the modern police chief.

In addition, Wu Shigong didn't know what acting command meant?What can my position help my father-in-law Xue Lian do?But now that his father-in-law Xue Lian is doing disaster relief, it is estimated that he can assist him in disaster relief (Wu Shigong's estimate is a bit reliable, but his estimate is still incomplete).Why did my father-in-law kick me out without explaining clearly to him?Wu Shigong complained in his heart.

In fact, Wu Shigong wronged his father-in-law.Except for those who can inherit the title or simply get the honor in the examination, the employment of the noble children is very narrow, and there are only a few official positions.And the official positions in the Wucheng Bingma Command Department happen to be one of the better ones.Therefore, as long as they are the children of Xungui, there is almost no unfamiliarity with the commanding department of soldiers and horses.And Wu Shigong happened to be an exception.Let’s not talk about the modern one. The one who was transmigrated wanted to take the imperial examination. He was indeed a nerd, that is, the official position of a civil servant. He didn’t understand it very well.

Don't mention Wu Shigong's question.After Wu Shigong left, Master Zhang said to Xue Lian: "Master Hou, the student said something harsh. My uncle is not young enough to be a weak crown. If he is given such a position, I am afraid that he will not have enough talent, which will hurt him instead."

Xue Lian nodded, sighed, and replied: "This time, the disaster at Wang Gong's factory finally vacated the position of deputy commander, and let Shi Gong take it first. Besides, Commander Li in Nancheng also lost this time." Both legs need at least half a year of recuperation. Even if they are healed, they will be lame. If the seat is vacant by then, Ben Hou will give up his old face and ask Shi Gong for it. In this way, it will be given Give respect to the in-laws, give respect to the daughter of the Marquis."

Master Zhang knew that Xue Lian's first reason was false, and the latter was the real reason.Poor parents all over the world, anyway, I have played the role of persuasion, so I don't say much.

Xue Lian then comforted Mr. Zhang and said: "As long as Shi Gong is not good enough, I will definitely be able to keep him safe. If he can't support the wall, let him come back when the time comes, and he will be able to keep him rich and honored for life. Even if it is that Sometimes, it is a great favor to hand over his position. Besides, Xue Qiang and Xue Yong are both stable people, and we are behind us to supervise and support them. No matter what Shi Gong does, he will not deviate there. Entrust the younger brother of Benhou to rush to the capital as soon as possible. When the time comes, let him assist Shigong. I thought that you would assist me temporarily, but now the disaster relief is in a state of distress, and Benhou cannot do without Mr. You."

"Master Hou, don't worry, the student's family members will be able to arrive in the capital within seven or eight days at most." Master Zhang replied.After a while, he asked Xue Lian casually: "Master Hou calls uncle Shi Gong, Shi Gong's, what is his name?"

"I really don't know about this book, so take the time to ask Shi Gong." The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

In the meeting hall of the Nancheng Bingmasi Yamen, three deputy commanders sat at the top corner.Their names are Ruan Xiong, Zhou Shikun and Yu Lian respectively.

Ruan Xiong has a beard and looks very old, but among the three, he is the youngest.He wiped his beard, and said: "Two old brothers, the younger brother is also a temper who can't hide his words. The brat who will come tomorrow will be the deputy commander of Xuanwumen. It's not a big deal, who made him a good husband. Everyone just wants to stay in the river. But he wants to act as a commanding officer, and he wants to ride on our heads to shit and piss, so I can't figure it out. Here, Regardless of age or qualifications, it must be Brother Zhou's turn, why?"

Seeing that Ruan Xiong's voice was a bit loud, Yu Lian quickly interrupted him: "Speak carefully, walls have ears. Xiao Ruan, don't shout too loudly. If we have any difficulties, Brother Zhou will make the decision for us."

Zhou Shikun remained silent, tapping the coffee table with his index finger.I thought to myself: "Don't look at the two of you as if one is reckless and the other is careful. Don't you want to push me out to fight with that new boy." You can't be promoted to command, it would be nice if you can act as a command.But the background is no match for Yang Wuhou.Besides, Yang Wuhou also gave compensation, promoted his son to a hundred households, and spread the word through his backer: If there is a good position in the future, he will definitely give priority to himself.Although I also understand that these words are just empty words now.But Yang Wuhou had already given himself enough face, so he couldn't embarrass the new kid too much.

But if Ruan Xiong and Yu Lian are just playing tricks, he might as well watch the excitement from the sidelines.Thinking of this, Zhou Shikun asked with a smile: "Then what do you two brothers think?"

There is drama!Ruan Xiong and Yu Lian looked at each other excitedly.It was Ruan Xiong who said: "This time the Wang Gong factory exploded, 47 of our brothers in Nancheng died, and 32 were disabled. We don't do that thing without an ass hole. Those who are dead and disabled, if there are Brother and son are substitutes, let’s not move him. I inquired about it, and 41 places were vacated just like that. We don’t have a bad heart, 50 taels a place, and we don’t care how much the brothers who help and introduce earn a little, 50 The two middle schools set aside 20 taels for the family members of the dead brothers as burial money, which also shows that we are affectionate and righteous. The newcomer who eats soft food doesn’t understand anything, so it’s a good idea to leave him five places That's fine. This is considered as our favor. The younger brother will wait for the two elder brothers to agree, and if there is no problem, the younger brother will send a message."

After hearing Ruan Xiong's words, Yu Lian also smiled "hehe", and the two looked at Zhou Shikun, waiting for him to make up his mind.Hearing this, Zhou Shikun's heart was also moved. Each person can be divided into more than ten quotas, which is more than 300 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a small fortune.He pondered for a while, and said, "Five is too little, give... ten."

"to make!"

In the explosion of the Wanggong factory, the dead and disabled soldiers of the Nancheng Bingma Commander were basically under the jurisdiction of Wu Shigong's deputy commander. According to the usual practice, Wu Shigong should also take the initiative to supplement the quota.He was still happily waiting to become an official at home, but he didn't expect his three colleagues to share the more than 900 taels of silver he deserved.
